Method Shown to Control Brush Tree Growth
The center uses foliage sprays with 24-D or similar herbicides for brush control on farms. A newer basal bark method mixes esters with 14-D and applies an oil solution around one full tree circumference to reach inner tissues. Dormant season works best, though early summer gives better results for California species.

Scientist Study Reveals How Plants Absorb Minerals
Researchers Roy Overstreet and Louis Jacobson at the University of California College of Agriculture are studying how hydrogen and minerals compete for plant uptake. They report calcium presence speeds absorption of potassium phosphorus and bromide in barley grown in darkness, using radio labeled minerals to trace root entry. The work, funded by a federal energy commission grant, aims to create a favorable soil environment for growth.

Weather Shapes Sugar Beets Production Across Conditions
A study by Albert Ultieh of the University of California Experiment Station explains beet sugar output hinges on temperature and day length. Optimal growth occurs near 17 degrees F and daytime temperatures from 64 to 79 degrees, with eight-hour light periods boosting root weight and sugar storage. Under artificial light, eight hours of day length yield heavy roots, while natural sun under eight hours loses some growth. The work aims to help beet growers and processors boost sugar yield in commercial fields.

Faulty Electric Circuits Drive Farm Fire Risk Across State
Farmers overload circuits and replace worn cords as fires rise. Experts from California Mutual Insurance warn that adding appliances far exceeds wiring capacity, urging checkups by licensed electricians or farm mutual inspectors. They promote proper fuses, circuit breakers, and safe use of extension cords to reduce fire losses.
